The nurses union in Manitoba has listed the Dauphin Regional Health Centre on a watch-list over serious concerns about patient safety.
Maureen Hancharyk says patients are being put into utility rooms for lack of space.
She says some call-lights in the hospital don't work and elective surgery is not cancelled, even when there's a shortage of nurses.
Allan Bradley, chief executive of the Parklands Health Region, says officials are looking into the concerns.
He says any problems affecting patient safety will be resolved right away, if possible.
It's the 5th time in the last 30 years that the nurses union has put a Manitoba hospital on the unofficial watchlist.
